This week, our guest speaker Sarah Gelli shares a powerful message on the gifts of prophecy and speaking in tongues. She unpacks their importance in church gatherings, explaining how these gifts are meant to strengthen and build up the body of Christ.

With clarity and insight, she helps us understand why these gifts matter—and how they should be used in the church context.

This week's sermon was delivered by Lally Wood, who beautifully painted a picture of how we are meant to serve from a place of love when using the gifts of the Spirit. Lally went on to explore why it is important to develop the fruit of the Spirit before focusing directly on the gifts. She encouraged us to ask God to use our gifts from the foundation of love, reminding us that God gives and blesses us out of His love.

This week's sermon, shared by Matthew DaCosta, reminds us that spiritual gifts are not about us—they are given to unify the Church and build God's Kingdom. As one body made up of many parts, each role is vital and dependent on the others. We're encouraged to seek the gifts, even the greater ones, but always keep our eyes on God—the source of all things—who guides us in using them to serve His Church.

This week, Dan Featherstone reminds us of the diverse gifts within the Church. These gifts are not for our own glory, but are freely given to serve one another. As members of the body of Christ, we are called to desire the gifts of the Spirit—not for selfish gain, but to lead with love and humility. This begins with cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit, which shapes our character in Christ before we serve with our gifts.

Owen Hylton beautifully introduces our new series, The Gifts of the Spirit, offering a thoughtful and inspiring overview of their purpose. He explains that the gifts are intended to bring unity, maturity, and edification to the Church. Rather than being used for personal recognition, these gifts are to be exercised from God’s perspective — to build up the Church and foster unity among believers. Owen reminds us that spiritual gifts are not about showcasing individual ability, but about surrendering them to God so they can fulfil His purpose in advancing the Church.

This sermon was delivered by Daniel Featherstone, who explores the true meaning of baptism for the believer, using the story of the adulterous woman. The story is a powerful example of what Christ has done for the family of believers: in Him, life is made new, sins are forgiven, and we are given the freedom to live without returning to sin. In the same way, baptism is a public declaration of this transformation—a vow made to God, where the believer commits to walk in His ways and live in the freedom Christ has made possible.

In this sermon, Nick Wood courageously explores what the book of Proverbs teaches about relationships and sex. With honesty and biblical insight, he addresses this important yet often difficult topic, reminding us that sex is a good gift from God—meant to be honoured and not misused. Nick highlights the spiritual, emotional, and physical consequences that can arise when this gift is distorted or taken outside of God’s design. This message calls believers to approach sex with integrity, respecting both themselves and others in the light of God’s wisdom.
